Imperial stormtroopers, led by Darth Vader, raided a shop in Odessa, Ukraine, on Saturday. The squad claims it was on a mission to find and destroy herbal smoking blends, prohibited in the country and allegedly sold in the store.

The "special" operation was kick-started by a command given by a
man dressed as the Dark Lord of the Sith, of Star Wars fame.

The brigade of imperial stormtroopers then broke into an Odessa
store, screaming “For the Emperor!” and asking the man
inside “Where are the drugs?” They searched on and under the
counter, ending up by collecting what they believed were prohibited
substances into a saucepan.

The operation culminated in stormtroopers setting the saucepan’s
contents on fire and also in throwing a smoke flare into the
shop.

The shopkeeper, who denies he was selling anything prohibited,
called police, but the costumed activists managed to disappear
before they came.

Still the leader of the group had time to speak to Ukrainian
journalists. It was Emperor Palpatine’s order “to mercilessly
and irreversibly cut the knot of drug dealing: to destroy the shops
selling smoking blends and other powders. Those guilty of poisoning
the nation should be brought to strict account before the
Empire,” said Darth Vader to Dumskaya.net news website.

The news posted at the party’s website says the raid was carried
out by a group of unidentified people. However the party’s Darth
Vader confirms the event was initiated by him at a personal page on
the Vkontakte (In Contact) social network.
